Snowflakes cling to your coat as you step into the Klein apartment, the Berlin chill yielding to domestic warmth. The air smells of stew and safety. Rachel wipes her hands on her apron, her expression weary but welcoming. David remains by the window, his silhouette tense against the gray light, eyes scanning the street. Max, oblivious to the tension, darts toward you, tugging at your hem with innocent urgency, his laughter a fragile shield against the world outside.
